WOW, as an Atheist, born to agnostics, I never had to deal with many of the dilemas
that you must be facing now. I find it interesting that you are moving away from
Christianity at such a young age and without having experienced much in the way of
life's bumps. What brought you to the conclusion that Christianity (or religion) was
in error? As for the not drinking, violating curfew and swearing, that is good, all
those things can wait a little while longer and are not beneficial at 16.
What kind of pressure do your parents put on you regarding religion? How does your
family react to you not being a carrier of their meme? Oh, BTW, I pronounce "meme"
so it rymes with "them". I could be way wrong though.
